In a heated exchange, President Trump expressed disappointment in Elon Musk during a meeting with Germany's Chancellor, following Musk's recent harsh critique of Trump's domestic policy bill. Musk, quick to retaliate on social media, accused Trump of ingratitude and claimed that his support was crucial for Trump's election victory.
The fallout escalated as Musk hinted at potentially leaving the Republican Party, while Trump threatened to eliminate Musk's government contracts, raising serious fiscal concerns. This dramatic shift comes after a period where Musk appeared as a close ally to Trump, heavily influencing federal policies and establishing a unique dynamic reminiscent of a "bromance."
While many predicted this rivalry brewing over time, the intensity of the break caught even close observers off guard. Meanwhile, Tesla's stock took a hit, dropping 15% amid the chaos. As these two powerful figures part ways, all eyes remain on how their feud will evolve and what it means for their respective futures.
